The kind of dish you wish you had 6 of......

Hi, all...

we are having STRONG winds out here on the Plains of West Texas today...
and COLD...
like 43 degrees cold...
I had my day all planned...
work outside with flowers and plants
take a nap
then go thrifting in the afternoon.

didn't get to do any of them ....

so here's a cutie I found at the thrift shop last week...


 it's not very big...
it's one of those "just right" sizes...
it's very plain...
nothing special to "write home about"




Corning Ware and only a dollar at the store....

and there was only ONE...

 it's a fabulous little plate for a few cookies...
(there's that cute blue and white metal tray)


 or when I was making my infamous BEEF NOODLE BAKE


 the little dish was perfect for holding my onion and Anaheim peppers,
waiting to be diced and chopped... 


 and really shows off a little plate of lemons...


why, this little dish makes even PECAN FUDGE CANDY look great..!
(OOO.....and it WAS)
♥ ♥ ♥


this is another good use I've found for that little dish....


 Blackberry Strawberry Short Cake....



THIS may very well be why I wish I had 6 of these little plates....
 You DO know, don't you, that it's not about THE PLATE 
but about the photos of THE FOOD......

  4. It was a cool day here too, though not in the 40s. I was in the garden all day. Perfect gardening weather!
    Sorry you didn't get to go thrifting this afternoon. That is always a fun time. Hope you can work it into your schedule this week. I stopped by a thrift store yesterday on my return from the plant center. Walked out with two beautiful pieces of silver.
    Happy Days!

  12. I wonder if you can find more on etsy? I found some small rectangular hall stoneware dishes at the thrift store several years ago. They were handy for EVERYTHING! Snacks, small meals, we used them constantly. I had never seen anything like them and didn't even know what they might be called since they resembled small shallow loaf pans and I had never seen anything like them before. I finally searched on etsy and found lots of them. I ordered another set for a very good price and have been so happy I did because we still use them for so many things. I have never seen the kind of dish you found before, but it helps that you know they are made by corning!

  21. I love your find and how creative you are with it. It is cold here in Tulsa. I forgot that the office was going to a daytime game so I about froze because I didn't bring a jacket.

  23. I love Corning ware! We once visited the factory in upstate NY and we bought a lot of it which has served me well over the year. Your dish is really cute--I hope you will be lucky and find more of them. had snow and sleet showers all weekend and it was chilly! The good thing is that everything is now melting and we may hit 80 by the end of the week--woo hoo!

Way too much spam and people commenting that are stealing my space to post nonsense so.....no comments allowed.
So sorry but I have no other choice.
I love my blogging friends and most of all my family but these spam prone people are so rude and selfish have made my blogging not nearly as much fun..
